If you've got an original legit XP CD shove that in and go from there. It'll repair your XP for you.
- The only thing I can find to do with recovery options from the CD is Recovery Console, however I'm extremely reluctant to try that seeing as the Microsoft website states '
Before using Recovery Console, it is recommended that you back up your information on a tape drive, because your local hard disks might be reformatted—thus erased—as part of the recovery.', once again highlighting the fact that Microsoft don't seem to make a distinction between recovering data and removing data.
XP is by far more superior than other OS's when dealing with system recovery.
- It comes with a whole lot of stuff which claims to recover systems, however I've yet to see any of it actually work.
